Read a table cell

There is a specific mistake recorded against this skill: swaps the named row and column. 11+ papers are written to offer exactly that answer, so a child can be confident and still lose the mark. When it keeps happening, the fix is the misunderstanding rather than more questions.

Point at the next move rather than explaining the whole rule. Run your finger down the Donation column to Handbags, then straight across to the January crates column.

Once it is secure, the skill map opens compare table values. A comparison requires accurate cell retrieval.

The skill map draws the line here: Excludes calculation across cells. A question past that line is testing a different named maths skill, which is worth knowing before you spend a week practising the wrong one.

The data strand holds 9 skills that are tested together, and the pages next to read a table cell are calculate an arithmetic mean, compare bar-chart values and compare line-graph change. Each has its own exercise and its own link, and none of them needs an account.

Use Table Reader, embedded on this page. It is the exercise the skill map attaches to read a table cell, it runs in the browser with no account to make, nothing is scored, and nothing a child does here is recorded or sent anywhere. It also has its own link, so you can send it to a child without sending them anywhere else first.
